General Information

In 1947, Arrow was founded by James J. Cervinka and Frank E. Pielsticker. The company began operation in a small industrial building in Worth, Illinois. AfterArrow Gear founders Arrow Gear's first location a move to Lyons, Illinois in the 1950s, the company was moved in 1961 to its current location in Downers Grove, Illinois - a western suburb of Chicago. Although Mr. Pielsticker passed away in 1987, Mr. Cervinka continues as Arrow's CEO and Chairman of the Board.

 

Early in Arrow's history, the company founders embraced a commitment to building the company into a leading force in the gear industry. This long standing tradition to growth remains today, and has resulted in the expansion of the original Downers Grove facility seven times to Photo of James J. Cervinkaaccommodate new equipment and technologies for gear manufacturing and production. Today, nearly all manufacturing operations performed on Arrow's products are performed in-house.

 

Arrow's ability to manufacture gearing products which are capable of meeting the most demanding customer requirements has created an extensive and diverse list of customers - supplying both aerospace and commercial applications.

 

A key distinction of Arrow Gear is the company's extensive expertise in the production of spiral bevel gears.  However, the production of spur and helical gearing is a significant portion of the company's product line.  In addition, the capability for producing complete gearboxes for the aerospace industry was introduced in the late 1980s.
